''I am now in panic mode as I know my son will not cope with the new system and I have great concerns for his safety, getting to and from school,'' Mrs Sinclair said. Both Mrs Sinclair and her husband worked and had no option but to use the school bus. These children have come from small area schools, and in most cases have never caught a bus before,'' Mrs Sinclair said. Mrs Sinclair was also concerned about the extra costs for families.
